Rehearsal 1
We gathered in room 201, a room where the heat can be set so we would not be hindered by the wacky and unreliable temperature that floats around the Theater School. I thought that this would have a more desired atmosphere which would lead to more desirable results-That is, everyone having fun instead of freezing/sweating to death.
I decided that I wanted a fun filled environment much like we had in Improv class, so I started with some improv warm-ups until I felt like everyone loosened up from the long day of classes and we sat down in a circle and began.
I wanted everyone to pick their own characters instead of me choosing them. I thought that in this way people would be more open to who the were, instead of being forced to playing a part that they had no desire to be. I didn't know if this made any or much of a difference, but everyone went along with it.
Next was a read-through. Scripts typos and grammatical errors everywhere. It is interesting having your script read through for the first time. It made me very excited to move forward.
We were soon done with the read-through and a general discussion took place on where I wanted to take the project. I really had no idea, only saying "Where-ever it goes, that is where it is going to go". I know I wanted to improv to explore the world that I set out, but that was about it. Cool ideas were given, and we chose to have improv sections in the piece, where during read throughs, we would improv scenes in between scenes/beats. I like this idea a lot, and I think there is some promise.
That's it for now!
